I recently met a man who I have fallen deeply in love with, and we have only known each other a couple of months. He is over 20 years older than I am, but that doesn't bother me. We felt a mutual spiritual connection from the start. I find him very stimulating, intellectually and otherwise. I've always been attracted to men that seem to have everything under control which he does although that was not always the case. He is a recovering alcoholic and drug user. He seems interested in settling down in a committed relationship. The thing is, I already have a boyfriend who I've been dating for almost two years, but I can't say I have ever had a feeling of excitement and passion like this with him. I haven't been dating this new man long which is why it scares me that I am so emotionally invested already. I could get really, really hurt. Then there is the guilt I have over cheating on my boyfriend and the potential for hurting him if I break up with him. Right now, I feel like I am selfishly hanging onto him just in case the new relationship doesn't work out. I'm euphoric, guilty and frightened. Anyone care to share some insight?
